肌を刺す霜に強張る月日も、
智を編み、策を温め、
佳良なる一手を生み出すための思慮の刻と思えば、
むしろ都合よく。

梅のほころび、新芽の息吹きを待ち侘びよう。
この深閑とした空気こそ、
軍師にとって万福のひとときなれば。

If one considers even freezing cold days as moments of contemplation with which to better rack one's brains, strengthen one's strategy, and plan one's next move, then they become times to be welcomed rather than endured.

Now come, and let us wait for the plums' seams to show, and the new sprouts to blossom with life. Indeed, quiet times like these are precisely what bring tacticians the most joy.
